Im interested to know what your opinion on Trump is? Go in the is US thread and you will get your answer. Not sure what relevance that has to this discussion? Yes i was reading that and i hope they do get that money back but i dont see how they are going to do that as i bet a lot of that money is long gone. Switching gears a second i see that labour have said the CQC is not fit for purpose. Thats great they have recognised that as i completely agree with them. Hopefully this is the first step to fixing some of the many problems the tories have caused in the nhs. Despite my criticism on labour of certain things ive always said i think labour will do a better job with nhs than the oast conservative governments have 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look he's actually got a proper waterproof coat on, not just a suit. Actually come properly prepared, probably took his hood down seconds earlier when it stopped raining. Got to respect a man prepared to wear a rain coat to a nobby affair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnkarl Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 (edited) I like how the discussion is about his coat and not his umpteenth child, wallpaper or how many quid he’s given his mates for fake PPE. Edited July 28 by magnkarl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MessiWillSignForVilla Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Red Austerity I assume since Reeves would have had access to the books as Shadow Chencellor then we will be seeing some sort of investigation into the Tory ministers that kept this stuff of the books Oh, they were lying because they knew their ideological cuts would be unpopular Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted July 29 VT Supporter Share Posted July 29 To be fair it was always stated (by the OBR? or some other economists) that neither parties plans stacked up and the only way forward was either tax increases or cuts somewhere. The BBC reported this frequently and have reminded people of this today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the perfect excuse for 'tax rises' something they said they wouldnt do. Im not buying this bullshit they didnt know how bad the numbers were before they came in. I wont comment on the cuts just yet until we see where they plan to do them Edited July 29 by Demitri_C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 And it seems like part of her solution is scrapping or postponing large infrastructure projects, despite the evidence they help economic recovery and would pay dividends in years to come. She seems to very much subscribe to Osbournenomics and we'll certainly be hearing lots more about our national credit card..**** sake. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
